Your weekend adventure has arrived.
Western Maryland has so much to explore, and one of the best ways to see it all is with a little day trip: a hiking adventure followed by a stop at one of Maryland’s small, family run creameries for ice cream.
Happy Cow Creamery is more than just a place to grab a scoop. It’s a working dairy farm where you can meet the cows, chickens, goats, and more up close.
Meet the Savages: Chip, Isha, and their two boys, proudly running Grand View Acres Farm.
This weekend’s pairing: Soldiers Delight Natural Environmental Area, Choate Mine and Red Run Trail, a 2-mile easy loop, followed by farm fresh soft serve, hand-dipped hard serve, and a whole lot of family fun.
One of 13 stops on Maryland’s Best Ice Cream Trail.
